Purchasing

How do government hospitals purchase medical supplies in Saudi Arabia?

Government healthcare entities purchase through unified procurement by NUPCO, or through tenders published on the Etimad platform, under the Government Tenders and Procurement Law.

Government purchasing channels

  • NUPCO: the national company for unified procurement of medicines, devices and medical supplies for the government health sector.
  • Etimad: the government platform for tenders and procurement.

Private sector

Private hospitals and centres usually buy directly from suppliers through requests for quotation, and can contact us directly.
